Seventeen of the paintings are on loan from the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michael’s, which received them as a bequest of Tilghman Island collector Diane Simison. The exhibition is co-sponsored by the Maritime Museum and the Center for Environment & Society at Washington College.

The Kohl Gallery is located in the Daniel Z. Gibson Center for the Arts on the Washington College campus, 300 Washington Avenue.
